Schedules feature is now in BETA for Smart by Bond fans. We anticipate production release in ~2 weeks.
Please use the BETA version of the Bond Home app to upgrade your Smart by Bond fans or aftermarket kits to v2.14.6+ firmware.
Who does this apply to? Any Bond units with serial numbers starting with K (except KMBL).
v2.14.7
Changes since v2.10.12
Native Schedules
• now supporting native scheduled events
• Schedule control of light and fan, including brightness and fan speed
• works even if internet connection is unreliable
• events can trigger at a specific time of day, or based on solar events like dawn, dusk, sunrise, sunset, and supernova
Light Dimming
• make it easier to achieve full or minimum brightness with the factory remote's hold-to-dim button by introducing 1 second plateaus in the dimming curve at 1% and 100%
Connectivity Improvement
• improve reliability and speed of cloud connection setup and firmware update success rate (via DNS optimizations for networks that provide faulty DNS servers via DHCP)
API Changes
• support _m field in HTTP body to override HTTP Method. Useful for restrictive HTTP client libraries that don't permit PATCH.
• leave request bodies in 200 PUT Action replies (useful for "Usage History" feature)
• BPUP: add source transport (x) field to up messages
• Support CORS (fascillitates Web UIs)
Other
• fix for a database problem (not known to have caused any dataloss for Smart by Bond users)
